I peed my pants

As a lot of middle aged moms out there may know, any sort of jumping or running or sneezing for that matter MAY result in peeing your pants. This was one of my main “Can’t’s” to overcome with running.

Wasn’t it bad enough that running made my body hurt or made me gasp and feel like I would die from a shortage of oxygen? Wasn’t it bad enough that I had to argue, not only with my body but…even worse with those voices in my head mocking me? On top of ALL of that I had to worry about PEEING myself?

I think this is an issue that many of us face but would rather not talk about. Who wants to admit to peeing themselves? I didn’t. Its embarassing. I felt like maybe I was the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD having this problem. After talking to several other ladies, I realized this is a REALLY common issue.

I would like to report that as I just (wo)maned up and ran regardless, something wonderful happened…the issue went away. I assume with time and continued running all SORTS of muscle have been improving. I am guessing thats a good thing 😉

I LOL’d when I read this, this AM. Just getting back on the computer now. I am in my late 20s and have had this issue when running. But I admit I haven’t done it long term enough to make it “better” Thanks for sharing!
